Given: 2 sets of Legos (equal numbers and equal sizes)
The team will divide itself into two groups. you will have 2 minutes to discuss the problems before parts 1 and 2 begin. This is a completely nonverbal problem.
You will be penalized 10 points each time you talk.
Part 1- In 3 minutes, build a freestanding structure with the Legos.
All of the Legos do not need to be used. Each layer must be made of all the same color. You will be given 5 points for each correct vertical layer of Legos. Once there is a mistake in the layering, the scoring for layers stop. Scoring starts from bottom to top. There must be a layer separating two identical color layers. There must be one layer of each color before the colors can be layered again. When a color is no longer available, then all the remaining colors must be used in the layering.
Part 2- You will be given 4 minutes. After part 2 begins, the first structure cannot be changed. The group who built the first structure is to instruct the other group how to build an identical structure.
You will receive 2 points for each correct block. Scoring starts from the bottom to the top. The two groups may not look at each others structures.
